In this day and age, finding and buying groceries and other necessities has never been easier, thanks to chain grocers, big box stores, and companies who will deliver straight to your door in two hours or less. Needless to say, this has not always been the case, as people used to travel long distances to visit locally-owned general stores for their shopping needs. Sadly, these friendly, old-fashioned shops are no longer easy to come by, but you can still experience them via places like the Clark Store in Colorado:

Situated in the small, unincorporated community of Clark, the aptly named Clark Store is a nostalgic, old-fashioned general store that offers a friendly and personalized shopping experience.
